CANYON - The West Texas A&M Buffaloes' 2011 football schedule features six home games as well as the Buffs participating in the inaugural Lone Star Conference Football Festival to be held at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington.

The schedule sees the Buffs opening the season at home as they kick off Labor Day Weekend with a Thursday night game against Colorado State-Pueblo at Kimbrough Memorial Stadium.

Sept. 17 sees the Buffaloes facing LSC South rival Texas A&M-Kingsville as part of the Lone Star Conference Football Festival at Cowboys Stadium. Game time for the event is still to be determined.

The Buffs' other non-conference game will be Oct. 29 when WT hosts Super Region Four member Central Washington. The Wildcats last visited Kimbrough Memorial Stadium during the 2008 NCAA playoffs, while WT made a visit to Ellensburg, Wash., during the 2009 regular season.

The new-look Lone Star Conference schedule finds the Buffs hosting Incarnate Word on Sept. 24, while Angelo State will be the 2011 homecoming opponent on Oct. 8. WT will also host LSC opponents Eastern New Mexico (Oct. 22) before closing out the regular campaign against Texas A&M-Commerce (Nov 12).
